Review:
I remember watching this when I was like 11, so I was still an easily scared child, like every time a zombie pops up the screen I would shriek. But after several years I watched it again, I've got to say it's still worth watching like, maybe once a year. I'm not just saying that because I'm a fan of horror films but as a genuine movie lover, this one is re-watchable.
Movie starts with a group of people, some of them related, staying together inside a cottage. You'd think they're just having a small gathering of friends, eating lovely dinner together, but in reality, they're all trapped there, struggling to survive day by day as they can't go outside because it's dangerous. As a small argument ensues—because of a survivor's boyfriend who left the group five days ago—a sudden pounding at the door is heard. It was a small boy screaming for them to let him in. They do let him inside and feed him, as they sort of interrogated him. He claims that he was being chased by the main antagonists of the film, the infected. The camera focuses on the survivor who lost her boyfriend, Karen, who, without thinking clearly, removes one of the rags they used to cover the cottage's exterior walls' holes as an attempt to see if her boyfriend would magically appear outside. That's when one of the infected see her inside. The infected, who we can see possesses inhuman strength, breaks through the wall and grabs Karen and bites her arm. Jacob, one of the other survivors, comes to her rescue but it was already too late, five seconds after getting bit, Karen became infected. She tries to bite off Jacob's face but Dan, "one" of the protagonists of the film, helps him. The cottage gets overrun by zombies not long after that. Everyone tries to escape the cottage but only Dan was successful, thanks to him betraying his wife. Dan runs away from the cottage guilt-ridden.
What's scary is the zombies in this film are like Olympic runners with how fast they can run. Only they're superior because they won't run out of breath like the living, breathing do. Even though I was mad at Dan for what he'd done, the scene where he was being chased by dozens of infected got me cheering him on to run faster. Dan spots Jacob getting a speed boat ready by the dock and jumped onto it. While Dan was struggling to start the engine, Jacob attempts to jump onto the boat but instead falls into the water and gets infected. Dan really was the only one who managed to escape. Seriously I was betting on Jacob but instead we get Dan the betrayer. We see him looking back at the cottage's window to see if his wife is still there as his boat takes him father away from the zombies.
The movie jumps to Mainland Britain, 28 weeks later. The U.S. Army is confident that the virus is contained. They're helping the remaining populace continue on with their lives. Dan's children, Tammy and Andy, arrive at the airport and were checked up by a military medic, Scarlet. It's revealed that Andy has a heterochromia that he inherited from his mother, which will play a big part in the film. Dan and his children finally meet again, he "explains" what happened to their mother, but later on they will come face to face with their alive but partially infected mother. And that meeting will prove to be the reason why the virus gets revived...
This film is good, greatly executed, maybe a little fast-paced, but all in all, very enjoyable. We'll see a different type of zombies here, where usually zombie films give us the not that much of a threat, mindless, arms-out-while-walking-very slowly zombies whose bite will give you a bit more time before turning you, 28 Weeks Later show us zombies who can easily outrun an average person and their bite will only give you about 5 seconds before you become infected. There maybe times where you'll find it starting to become tame, but as soon as the virus kicks in again, you'll find yourself on the edge of your seat once again.
Would you recommend this to other users? I do recommend it! It's highly enjoyable. If the acting delivery doesn't move you, the film's fast-paced but intense action will.
